| Good germination in our late spring, smallish, thin roots that aren't particularly flavorful, but the youth at our garden loved the color. |

| Germination was was spotty, growth was spindly and the lower 2 inches so small that it was wasted. Not as sweet as most and almost bitter raw. Atomic reds are not horrible but there are plenty of carrots much better. |
